Career Day: Women Speaking to Women


Today the auditorium was filled with 16 powerful women, ready to share this wisdom and rich experience with the entire school community. Mary Young, our Public Relations Director, worked diligently to gather the interests and dreams of the student body several months ago. She then reached out to great women and contacted Directors, Entrepreneurs, Lawyers, Medical Supervisors, and Olympic Silver Medalist, many of whom are Benedictine alumnae, to join us in this amazing day of career workshops for our students.


The day was an overwhelming success as our students learned professional tips and acute business acumen in the various teaching sessions. They concluded with a question and answer panel discussion. What was one of the most important advices shared? Your integrity is your greatest asset. Honesty, respect and having a responsible attitude are unequalled attributes not only in the workplace, but in life. It is what it means to be a good human being.
Benedictine Academy is an A+ college-preparatory high school for young women. Leadership and academic success are two of the cornerstones of our School Mission.
